GOING: H

#jointhepassion MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: HEAVY   Clear (Max: 15)    

Slick pace with White Waters finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. HEAVENLY MAFIA (3) made the expected natural improvement when fourth over 1200m last time. The manner in which she finished off her race that day was eye-catching. It must be noted that the horse that finished third has come out and won since. She will love the rise to 1600m and from a good draw of three may find herself in the winner's enclosure. MIGHTY MARY (4) was unlucky not to have won her last start over 1400m on this course as she was held up for a run at the 150m mark. Can atone. ZENA'S ACT (5) set the pace over 1400m at Fairview last time before getting outrun late. Could prove hard to beat. GIVEN TO FLY (8) ran a better race last start, finishing fourth over 1500m at this track. Likely improver with strong each-way claims.
